More About This Creator
Q&A
How do your pieces come to life? Tell us one interesting thing about your creative process?
"The first step is intuitive. The freedom of the initial gestural sweep of colour, provides a framework. In much the same way cloud gazing prompts a story or daydreaming allows the mind to meander, the development of the artwork in front of me sparks my imagination and a story unfolds."
Kirsty BlackQ&A
What do you want people to do or feel when they encounter your creations?
"For me painting is a form of storytelling that uses, colour, mark-making, gesture and paint. I aim to create joyful works that engage the viewer, leading them on a journey of individual interpretation."
